    Outbound Hound

    I had the brand of the PFD wrong. It is a Outward Hound not Outbound Hound.

    Outbound Hound

    Thank you for your response. The PFD is the size recommended for the girth of the dog. I don't think the next smaller size from this company. would fit. She is a kind of a Chiweenie mix; long body, short legs and fairly thick through the chest. I will float her in the pool before we use it...

    Outbound Hound

    We purchased an Outbound Hound PFD for our dog. Our little dog was able to escape the PFD. She was in front of my wife and emerged from under the bow seat fully naked. We did not see how she managed to remove it. I have since tried it at home and it seems secure. I did tighten the straps a...

    Android Night Pictures

    On my phone, you just turn off the auto flash feature. With no flash, it just automatically knows to use the night photo feature when it is dark.

    Here is a picture I took with my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra a few days ago. It was very dark and I used the night picture feature. Do any of you use this feature on your phones?

    What will be the effect of electric vehicles on canoe tripping?

    Here is an invoice for a model 3 battery replacement. I envision a lot of EVs being recycled instead of being maintained and driven more than 10ish years. I am not sure how this plays into their overall environmental impact.

    What will be the effect of electric vehicles on canoe tripping?

    When I go on trips it usually involves going over mountain passes and staying in remote areas. Often, I pull a 5th wheel trailer. For these reasons an EV is only a distant thought for replacing my diesel 1999 F350. I will keep my old truck alive for now. She will likely go over 300K this...

    13 Coldest Rivers in the U.S.

    The Snake doesn't empty into Puget Sound. It is a tributary of the Columbia River, which empties directly into the Pacific Ocean.

    You want to take that tub.....where?

    I have a 15 foot Coleman that lives at our vacation house. It cost around 80 bucks. It is used in local ponds and lakes and occasionally the Willapa Bay. It brings back memories of canoes when I was a kid. It seems like Colemans were everywhere back then. A friend had a 17 footer a few years...

    A little different approach

    This canoe had been advertised on CL for quite awhile. It would be an interesting project. https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/spo/d/portland-16-ft-teak-canoe-1970s-pick-up/7614946626.html

    (Finally) starting from scratch.

    20+ years ago I worked in a woodshop. I recall intentionally darkening some cherry. I think drain cleaner was used??? Anyway, looking forward to following along. I too have too many irons in the fire, but am interested in building a wood strip canoe.
